I've had a new computer isntalled with Windows XP and Firefox, and, for soem reason, aniamted GIFs don't aniamted. Even if I download them and open them up in a GIF animator, they only have one frame.
My old computer - which had Windows 98 and Firefox - didn't have this problem. In fact, I saved some files from it onto CD and moved them across on to the new one - and some GIFs I downloaded on the old one work just fine in the aniamtor on the new one. What's going on?

Simple: computers are finicky and not meant to be fully understood by mankind.

Seriously, whenever something funky happens to my computer I chalk it up to either a virus or spyware. Have you tried running a virus scan, or spy ware scan?
Yeah, so that's my "expert" advice.
